"JOHN, son of Waffe (98), born in Lunenberg, Mass., Dec. 17, 1781; died in Milton, Mass., May 31, 1855, and his remains were buried in the old cemetery in that town.

In early youth he resided in Beverly, Mass., and at the age of 14 he went on a voyage to sea. Soon after this both parents died, and he came to Boston where he served an apprenticeship of seven years, at the carriage and harness business.

At about 19 years of age he became deeply interested in religion, and joined the Baptist Church.

In 1803 he married Betsey Babcock of Milton, Mass., and thirteen children were born to them.

At about this time he was brought in contact with the Christian sect ['The American Christian Convention'], and being much impressed with the truth of their doctrines, severed his connection with the Baptist denomination and became a preacher of the new faith, being ordained in Boston in 1806.

For a time his work was chiefly evangelistic in Boston, Salem, Haverhill and other places.

In this year (1806) he settled in Essex, Mass., and remained there seven years.

In 1814 he removed to Woodstock, Vt., and while settled there assisted Elder Hazen in compiling;- a Hymn Book for the Christian denomination.

He was settled at Danville, Vt., and at Bradford, Vt., and in 1822 removed with his family to Milton, Mass., where the family resided till his death.

The old homestead in this place has been retained by members of the family, and is still (1897) a gathering place for the younger generations.

In 1851, Mrs. Rand died, and in 1853, Mr. Rand was partially paralyzed, but lived till May 31, 1855.
